(edited because I added other things)
My lovely dad is buying me some more muesli that he and I both love. He gets it from a mail order company and I won't be seeing him for a few weeks by which time I will have run out of the little bit I have left here at home.
Rather than buy some, I thought I would take a look in my cupboards and see what I already have that I can use to make some of my own.
This is what I found and used.
3/4 cup each oats and malted wheat flakes
20g almonds, chopped
20g chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp linseeds
15g pumpkin seeds
15g sunflower seeds
30g dried cranberries
5 dried apricots, chopped
30g sultanas
20g dried, sweetened mango, chopped
20g banana chips, broken into smaller bits
1 tbsp desiccated coconut
Place in a container or bowl and mix well. Store in an airtight container
It tastes really good. And I can make it as posh as I like really by what I add. Not cheap, I am sure, although I haven't been able to cost it out as it's all things I already had in. However, that makes it frugal in that I am making the best use of what I already have.
I used to make my own muesli but found that it was just too much for breakfast. Now I still use the ingredients but add them to my wholemeal bread. each loaf is different from the next and a slice at a time is enough.
ReplyDeleteNice one! Actually that's a fab idea. Do you use an ordinary bread recipe and add the muesli as an extra?
DeleteI just have 30g. It isn't much in the bowl but with milk and yogurt it turns out very filling. I love it.
No, don't cost it out. I have a feeling it could be pretty expensive! But how lovely to use up just the things you have in. I bet it tastes yummy.
ReplyDeleteI think it was expensive but there's stuff left for another batch and at 30g a time it lasts for ages. And yes, it was absolutely delicious!
